Although there is a possibility that we may not see the best of KITSILANO until he moves into handicap company, it is difficult not to be drawn to the John Joseph Murphy-trained gelding here. A dual point-to-point winner, the six-year-old hinted at better to come in three maiden hurdles over the minimum trip and now steps up in distance for the first time under rules. Hard Rain represents a stable that has an excellent strike rate at this particular venue, so for that reason alone, the Arcadio gelding deserves close consideration. First time cheekpieces may also see the James Dullea-trained runner show further improvement. Top Line Tommy isn't the easiest to win with but has the highest official rating of those to have attained a mark. He should be involved for a place at the very least.

While he hasn't shown much in a handful of 2m maiden hurdles, KITSILANO could be seen in an altogether better light now moving up in trip for this chase debut. Indeed, the 6-y-o was a winner of 2 of his 4 starts between the flags and is marginally preferred to A Fortune Out West, who beat Pembroke on his sole point start in 2021 and may also leave his hurdles form well behind now switched to fences. Must Be Dreaming and Some Woman are the pick of those with experience in this sphere.

There could be some improvers lurking but MUST BE DREAMING ran surprisingly well at Killarney the last time and she's preferred.

Having gone close on his last couple of starts, the Gordon Elliott-trained PATS CHOICE can strike for the first time over fences. The form of his Fairyhouse second looks very strong in the context of this race, while he was only just denied on his most recent outing at Ballinrobe last month. Downthecellar is a real course specialist, with three of his four career wins having been achieved at this venue. Although now 11lb higher than when last winning, the Edward O'Grady-trained gelding could be rejuvenated by a return visit. Freddie Robdal went up 3lb for a narrow win over course and distance last time but that weight rise is offset by Mike O'Connor here. The locally trained six-year-old holds strong claims.

The vote goes to KAREN'S GIFT, who stepped up on her chase debut when fourth in a beginners' event here last time and she makes her handicap debut in this sphere off a mark 4 lb lower than that off which she struck over hurdles at Down Royal in January. Pats Choice is 0-5 over the larger obstacles but has found just one too good on each of his last 3 starts and another bold show is on the cards. Freddie Robdal opened his chase account here in April and is best of the rest.

The 6yo PATS CHOICE did everything but win at Ballinrobe and, whilst a 4lb rise is annoying, he was clear of everything else.

Three of the leading fancies for this contest met in a similar race at Tipperary recently, with SAMUI faring best. Having his first start over hurdles, the former bumper winner was always prominent before keeping on well to chase home an odds-on favourite. Granted normal improvement from that introduction to jumping, the Gordon Elliott-trained four-year-old should again prove too strong for third placed Dark Note and Spy, who occupied fourth. The former might have finished that bit closer but for a mistake at the last but he still has plenty to do if he is to overturn that bare form. Meanwhile, the Charles Byrnes-trained Spy failed to build on a very promising debut effort when second at Cork. However, he remains lightly raced and open to improvement for current connections.

It's very hard to ignore the claims of SAMUI who ran to a pretty useful level when second on his recent Tipperary hurdle debut. Ta Na La, who like the selection was placed on her hurdle debut, is second choice ahead of Dark Note, who was 9 lengths behind the selection when third at Tipperary.

Likely favourite Samui will do well to give 15lb to TA NA LA who ran very well on her hurdles debut at Punchestown last week

SET POINT appears to hold strong claims of following up his recent win at Downpatrick. That form has already received a boost with the runner-up going on to win on his next start. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding was a smart handicapper on the level when trained in Britain and could have more to offer from his current hurdles rating. Despite dropping back to the minimum trip for this race, he travels well so should have enough place to cope. Starman showed his first worthwhile form when only narrowly denied in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan last time. The seven-year-old has had very little racing so should be capable of further progress now that he tackles handicap company. Craic Eile doesn't have a great deal of solid recent form but as both career wins have come at this track he shouldn't be discounted.

Gordon Elliott's SET POINT has got better with each start over hurdles and will be a tough nut to crack if that trend continues. Doyenna made a sound return from a break at Kilbeggan 6 weeks ago and is feared most ahead of Starman, who appeals as a likely improver now moving into handicap company for the first time.

This is competitive but last year's runner-up TOM McGREEVY could be interesting provided that this run isn't needed.

BYNX wouldn't be a mare to have total trust in, given that she has failed to win and only reached the frame four times in 21 starts but this looks an ideal opportunity. Trainer Martin Hassett could hardly have his small string in better form and this five-year-old mare has plenty experience that should stand to her in this ordinary contest. A reproduction of her Cork second on penultimate start would almost certainly be good enough now. Hamartia showed definite ability on her first two starts and improved further when runner up at Kilbeggan recently. With only three career runs to date, the Colm Murphy-trained mare should have more to offer. Dylan's Day stepped up on previous runs when a close third at Wexford recently, and a similar level of form would see her play a leading role.

HAMARTIA posted an excellent second at Kilbeggan after an absence and with more progress on the cards she is fancied to go one better now at the chief expense of Dylan's Day, who should benefit from this step up in trip judged on her recent Wexford third. Lucky Viv and Ned's Legacy complete the shortlist.

The Colm Murphy-trained HAMARTIA showed a nice bit of progression at Kilbeggan in April when last seen and can follow that up here

TICK ALONG improved on anything she had done previously when winning at Downpatrick last month. While there is no guarantee that the Tom McCourt-trained mare can replicate that performance on a very different track, she is still the most likely winner. Locally trained Spring Street also put up a career best last time, staying on nicely to finish second at this venue in April. He too, needs to show that he can reproduce that effort but if doing so, he has to be a contender. Tennessee Titan ran a big race when third over 3m at Cork last month but failed to back that up when dropped in trip last time. Perhaps this intermediate distance will see him in a better light.

A few with chances but TENNESSEE TITAN should prove well suited by this return to a longer trip so is taken to open his account off a handy-looking mark. Spring Street is feared most on the back of his good recent second here, although recent Downpatrick scorer Tick Along seems sure to have a say too.

The locally-trained SPRING STREET(nap) ran a fine race on softer ground here last time and will take the beating if handling the ground

LILY'S CHOICE can make a winning debut for Willie Mullins in this finale. Placed in both of her point-to-point runs, the five-year-old has a prominent racing style that should prove ideal for this tight track. The champion trainer traditionally does well with his bumper runners at this venue so is sure to have relied on one thought capable of getting the job done. Barton Snow has proven highly consistent in her career between the flags, so the William Murphy-trained six-year-old must be considered. Moira McElligott is one of the most experienced riders in this race and that could be the difference should it develop into a tactical affair. Royal Moon is another with leading claims having showed up well on three runs under Rules.

LILY'S CHOICE showed plenty of ability in points and is worth chancing on Rules debut for a top stable. Royal Moon is the clear pick of those with experience in this sphere and should pose a big threat, while Western Flyer is likely to compete for a place.

The most likely winner is ROYAL MOON, who ran to a fair level in two maiden hurdles and didn't run at all badly back in a bumper.
